Definitions
- the present invention relates to pipeline repair and/or reinforcement and in particular to installation assemblies for pipeline liners, pipeline liners and methods for installing pipeline liners.
- Pipeline liners are often used to repair and/or reinforce ruptured or weak areas in pipeline networks such as sewer systems and the like. There are many disadvantages associated with the current methods of installing pipeline liners.
- Pipeline liners for constant or variable diameter pipelines are typically installed using bladder systems. During installation of a pipeline liner, the bladder system is inflated to expand the pipeline liner and force it against the interior surface of the pipeline. The pipeline liner is then allowed to cure against the inner wall of the pipeline.
- Current bladder systems require pipeline access at the location that is to be repaired or re-enforced. Gaining access to a particular pipeline location can be difficult. Additional labor is required because the pipeline must be excavated in order to gain access at the desired location.
- T-junction Another difficult area of pipelines to repair or re-enforce is the T-junction between a main pipe to a lateral line. These junctions are typically the weakest joints in pipeline systems. Therefore, lining of these junctions is common. Current pipeline liners for T-junctions are difficult to install and require multiple steps, thus making the installation procedure time consuming for technicians. As will be appreciated, improvements to pipeline liner installation assemblies, pipeline liners and methods of installing the same are desired.
- an installation assembly for installing a liner in a pipeline, said installation assembly comprising:
- said bladder assembly including:
- an inflatable inner bladder having an installation end and a retrieval end and defining an internal reservoir
- an outer bladder surrounding said inner bladder at least along a portion of the length thereof, said outer bladder having an end coupled to said inner bladder adjacent said installation end;
- a fluid passage coupled to said inner bladder, said fluid passage for introducing fluid into said internal reservoir to inflate said inner bladder and expand a liner carried by said bladder assembly so that said liner can be brought into firm contact with an interior surface of said pipeline;
- a retrieval line for removing said bladder assembly from said pipeline, said retrieval line being coupled to the retrieval end of said inner bladder so that when said bladder assembly is removed from said liner with said inner bladder deflated, said outer bladder separates from said liner and inverts.
- the installation assembly further comprises an inversion element received by the inner bladder and the outer bladder adjacent the installation end.
- the inner and outer bladders are coupled to a portion of the inversion element.
- the installation assembly further comprises an installation cable coupled to the inversion element external to the bladder assembly. The installation cable is used to pull the bladder assembly to a desired location within the pipeline.
- the fluid passage is a hose coupled to the retrieval end of the inner bladder and constitutes the retrieval line. It is also preferred that the installation assembly further include an air pump coupled to the hose to inflate and evacuate the inner bladder.
- said bladder assembly including an inner bladder having an installation end and a retrieval end and an outer bladder surrounding said inner bladder and contacting an inner surface of said liner, said outer bladder having one end coupled to said inner bladder adjacent said installation end and an opposite free end;
- a liner for a variable diameter pipeline comprising:
- an expandable tube formed from a rolled sheet of flexible material and having an overlapping portion therein;
- the overlapping portion is sized to cover the web when the tube is in an expanded condition. It is also preferred that the web is formed of expandable material and extends between an edge of the tube and a main portion of the tube to trap the overlapping portion within the tube.
- an installation assembly for installing a liner at the junction between a main pipe and a lateral pipe, said installation assembly comprising:
- an inflatable bladder assembly for carrying a liner, said bladder assembly including a main portion and a lateral portion and defining an internal reservoir;
- a fluid passage coupled to said bladder assembly to introduce fluid into said internal reservoir and inflate the main and lateral portions of said bladder assembly thereby to expand said liner so that when said lateral portion extends into said lateral pipe and said main portion is in said main pipe, said liner is brought into contact with the interior of said main and lateral pipes and conforms to the shape of said junction.
- the lateral portion of the bladder system includes an inner bladder and an outer bladder.
- the outer bladder extends at least along a portion of the length of the inner bladder.
- the outer and inner bladders are coupled adjacent a distal end of the lateral portion.
- the carrier extends through the main portion of the bladder system.
- a second installation cable is coupled to a leading edge of the carrier and a retrieval carrier is coupled to a trailing edge of the carrier.
- the fluid passage is in the form of a hose having one end received by the carrier.
- said bladder assembly carrying a wetted liner into said pipeline, said bladder assembly including a main portion and a lateral portion and defining an internal reservoir, said bladder assembly being positioned so that the lateral portion thereof extends into said lateral pipe and with the main portion thereof positioned in said main pipe;
- the present invention provides advantages in that liners can be installed in pipelines in a relatively simple manner without requiring excavation to access the pipelines.
- the present invention also provides advantages in that liners can be installed at junctions between main and lateral pipes in a single application.
- the present invention provides further advantages in that variable diameter pipelines can be repaired and/or reinforced while ensuring high integrity linings.

- installation assembly 20 includes a double bladder assembly 22 comprising an inner bladder 26 defining an internal reservoir 26 a and an outer bladder 28 surrounding the inner bladder 26 .
- the inner bladder 26 is elongate and has a leading installation end 26 b and a trailing retrieval end 26 c .
- An inversion element 30 that is generally shaped like an I-section having a pair of blocks 30 a and 30 b joined by a bight 30 c , is partially accommodated by the inner bladder 26 .
- leading installation end 26 b of the inner bladder 26 receives the block 30 a and is secured to the bight 30 c by a clamp 31 a to seal the leading installation end 26 b of the inner bladder.
- the trailing retrieval end 26 c of the inner bladder accommodates a valve 32 to enable fluid to enter the internal reservoir 26 a and inflate the inner bladder 26 .
- the outer bladder 28 surrounds the inner bladder 26 like a sleeve and has a leading end 28 a that is secured to the bight 30 c of the inversion element 30 by a second clamp 31 b . Unlike the inner bladder 26 , the trailing end 28 b of the outer bladder 28 is open.
- a winch cable 34 is coupled to block 30 b of the inversion element 30 and is pulled by a winch (not shown).
- a hose 36 is coupled to the valve 32 and communicates with a fluid source such as an air pump (not shown).
- the double bladder assembly 22 is inserted into a cylindrical tubular liner L that has been impregnated with epoxy.
- the liner L may be impregnated with epoxy either before or after the double bladder assembly 22 has been inserted into the liner L.
- the process of impregnating the liner L with epoxy is commonly referred to as “wetting”.
- the winch is operated so that the liner L and double bladder assembly 22 are pulled into the pipeline P to be repaired and/or reinforced via the winch cable 34 , as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the air pump is operated to supply air to the hose 36 . Air fed to the hose 36 passes through the valve 32 and enters the internal reservoir 26 a of the inner bladder 26 thereby to inflate the inner bladder 26 .
- the inner bladder 26 is inflated until the double bladder assembly 22 expands to the point where the liner L firmly contacts the interior surface of the pipeline P as shown in FIG. 3 .
- the double bladder assembly 22 is then maintained in this condition for a time period sufficient to enable the liner L to cure.
- the air pump is operated to evacuate air from the internal reservoir 26 a of the inner bladder 26 via the valve 32 and hose 36 .
- the outer bladder 28 remains adhered to the liner L, as shown in FIG. 4 .
- the double bladder assembly 22 is retrieved from the pipeline P.
- the hose 36 is used to pull the inner bladder 26 back out of the pipeline P.
- the outer bladder 28 inverts about inversion element 30 and peels away from the liner L, as shown in FIG. 5 . This process is continued until the outer bladder 28 has completely separated from the liner L and the inner bladder 26 and inverted outer bladder 28 are removed from the pipeline P.
- the installation assembly 20 has been shown installing a liner L into a pipeline P that has a constant diameter
- the installation assembly 20 can also be used to install a liner into a pipeline having a variable diameter.
- variable diameter pipeline liner 40 for installation in a variable diameter pipeline is shown and is generally identified by reference numeral 40 .
- the variable diameter pipeline liner 40 includes a generally rectangular piece of flexible material, such as felt, that is rolled up to take the form of a tube 42 with the ends of the material overlapping.
- a web 44 formed of flexible material runs the length of the tube 42 and extends between the outer edge 42 a of the tube 42 and the main web 42 b of the tube to trap an overlapping portion of material 46 within the tube and define on expandable joint.
- the ends of the web 44 are secured to the tube 42 by strips of felt 48 fused to the side edges of the web 44 .
- a flat stock of material is cut to yield a rectangular piece of material 50 that can be rolled into a tube having a diameter suitable for use in the variable diameter pipeline to be repaired and/or reinforced, as shown in FIG. 7 .
- the web 44 having the strips of felt 48 fused to its side edges is also formed as shown in FIG. 8 .
- the piece of rectangular material 50 is rolled into a tube and the strips of felt 48 are fused to the tube 42 to complete the liner 40 as shown in FIG. 6 .
- the rectangular piece of material 50 is rolled up to form a tube 42 having an inner diameter of 3.5 inches.
- a 3 inch wide piece of expandable material is used as the web 44 .
- Strips of felt 48 each having a width of about 3 ⁇ 4 inches are used to secure the web 44 to the tube 42 .
- FIGS. 9 to 13 installation of the liner 40 into a variable diameter pipeline will be described.
- the liner 40 is prepared for installation by inserting the double bladder assembly 22 into the tube 42 and wetting the liner L.
- the liner 40 is then inserted into the variable diameter pipeline P and is pulled via the winch cable 34 until the liner 40 is positioned at the junction between pipes 52 and 54 of different diameters, such as for example a 4 inch to 6 inch transition.
- the inner bladder 26 of the double bladder assembly 22 is inflated in the manner described previously. As the inner bladder 26 inflates, the double bladder assembly 22 expands the liner 40 and forces the liner 40 into contact with the interior surfaces of both pipes 52 and 54 .
- the web 44 of the liner 40 accommodates the different expansion diameters of opposite ends of the liner 40 allowing the liner to form a smooth transition between the different diameter pipes 52 and 54 .
- the portion of the liner tube 42 within the smaller diameter pipe 52 does not fully expand as shown in FIG. 11 .
- a significant amount of the overlapping portion 46 remains trapped in the tube 42 and overlaps with the interior surface of the main web 42 b .
- the portion of the liner tube 42 within the larger diameter pipe 54 however, fully expands as shown in FIG. 12 .
- the overlapping portion 46 still overlaps with a small portion of the interior surface of the main web 42 b .
- the overlapping portion 46 always extends across the web 44 so that the thickness of the liner 40 at the location of the web 44 is not compromised.
- the liner 40 has at least a minimum thickness corresponding to the thickness of the flexible material 50 , about its entire circumference.
- the liner 40 With the liner 40 expanded within the pipeline P, the liner 40 is allowed to cure. Since the entire liner 40 is soaked with epoxy, the overlapping portion 46 adheres to the interior surface of main web 42 b . Once the liner 40 has cured, the inner bladder 26 is deflated and the double bladder assembly 22 is retrieved from the pipeline P in the manner previously described as shown in FIG. 13 .
- FIGS. 14 to 16 an alternative embodiment of an installation assembly for installing a liner at a T-junction within a pipeline in accordance with the present invention is shown and is generally identified by reference numeral 100 .
- the installation assembly 100 includes a T-shaped bladder assembly 102 having a main portion 104 and a lateral portion 106 connected by a fused T-joint 108 .
- the main portion 104 of bladder assembly 102 includes a single bladder 110 defining an internal reservoir 112 .
- the lateral portion 106 of the bladder assembly 102 includes inner and outer bladders 116 and 118 respectively.
- the inner bladder 116 also defines an internal reservoir 120 that is in fluid communication with the internal reservoir 112 .
- the outer bladder 118 is in the form of a sleeve and surrounds the inner bladder 116 partially along its length.
- An inversion element 130 similar to that described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 is partially received by the distal ends of the inner and outer bladders 116 and 118 respectively.
- the distal ends of the inner and outer bladders 116 and 118 are secured to the bight 130 a of the inversion element by clamps 131 a and 131 b respectively.
- An installation cable 134 is coupled to the exterior block 130 b of the inversion element 130 and extends to a winch (not shown).
- a transportation device or carrier 140 extends through the bladder 110 .
- the bladder 110 is sealed to the carrier 140 to allow the bladder 110 to be inflated.
- An installation cable 142 is attached to the leading end 140 a of the carrier 140 and extends to a winch (not shown).
- a retrieval cable 144 is attached to the trailing end 140 b of the carrier 140 and extends to a winch (not shown).
- a hose 146 having one end coupled to a fluid source such as an air pump (not shown) extends through the carrier 140 and is in fluid communication with the internal reservoir 112 of the bladder 110 via a valve (not shown).
- the liner 150 is generally T-shaped and includes a main portion 152 and a lateral portion 154 . Similar to the previous embodiments, the liner 150 is firstly prepared for installation by inserting the bladder assembly 102 into the liner 150 and wetting the liner 150 . During insertion, the main portion 104 of the bladder assembly 102 is pulled through the main portion 152 of the liner 150 and the lateral portion 106 of the bladder assembly 102 is pulled through the lateral portion 154 of the liner 150 .
- the bladder assembly 102 With the liner 150 prepared for installation, the bladder assembly 102 is launched through a manhole 160 and into a main pipe 162 .
- a remote controlled camera 164 is also placed in the main pipe 162 .
- the installation cable 134 which has been previously fed through a lateral pipe 166 that is connected to the main pipe 162 to define the T-junction to be repaired and/or reinforced, is then used to pull the lateral portion 104 of the bladder assembly 102 into the main pipe 162 . Once the full length of the lateral portion 104 of the bladder assembly 102 is in the main pipe 162 , the installation cables 142 and 134 are pulled simultaneously.
- the installation cable 142 advances the carrier 140 and hence bladder assembly 102 towards the T-junction defined by the main and lateral pipes 162 and 166 respectively.
- Pulling of the installation cable 134 advances the lateral portion 106 of the bladder assembly 102 up into the lateral pipe 166 .
- the remote controlled camera 164 is used by technicians to assist in the proper positioning of the liner 150 at the T-junction as shown in FIG. 17 .
- the air pump is operated to feed air into the hose 146 .
- Air fed into the hose 146 enters the internal reservoir 112 of the bladder 110 . Since the bladders 110 and 116 are in fluid communication, air entering the internal reservoir 112 also enters the internal reservoir 120 .
- Air is fed to the bladder assembly 102 until both bladders 110 and 116 are fully inflated so that the liner 150 is expanded and forced into contact with the interior surfaces of the main and lateral pipes 162 and 166 as shown in FIG. 17 .
- the bladder assembly 102 is maintained in this condition until the liner 150 cures.
- the air pump is operated to evacuate air from the internal reservoirs 112 and 120 of the bladders allowing the bladders 110 and 116 to deflate.
- the outer bladder 118 however remains adhered to the liner 150 .
- the retrieval cable 144 is pulled to remove the bladder assembly 102 from the liner 150 .
- the inner bladder 116 is pulled out of the lateral portion 154 of the liner 150 .
- the outer bladder 118 inverts about the inversion element 130 and is pulled from the liner 150 .
- the retrieval cable 144 is pulled until the bladder assembly 102 is removed from the pipeline via the manhole 160 .
- installation system 100 is shown for use in installing a liner at a T-junction between a lateral pipe and a main pipe, those of skill in the art will appreciate that the installation system can be used to install liners in other types of pipe junctions.
